heck. yes.

so. i had a fabolous post up, and since all the stuff on this computer is in german, i deleted it on accident. i thought i was publishing, but really i deleted it. dang it.

so, i think this is a lame recreation of what i said earlier, but i guess it will have to do.

so, this place is amazing. it is definitely my favorite hostel yet. out my window is the jungfrau, eiger and monch mountains. and i have to bend over to see them, thez are so high!!

yesterday i went canyoning. i donned a much-needed wetsuit, jumped into and over waterfalls, rapelled down waterfalls, floated down the river on my back, rushed down on my front with my hands out front, hopped over boulders in the water, etc. the sweetest way yet to spend 110 swiss francs.

so i am pretty exhausted today... i went hiking, on a supposed 3 hr easy hike to a waterfall. it was 4 hrs and we made it to a boulder field near the waterfall, and decided against trying to go up to the glacier to walk on it. figured we would probably fall and break something. at least that is what i thought. so we headed back, along the white-blue river with snow capped towering mountains all around, dodging the path of huge, cute cows with bells on their necks, noticing the tree line just above us, and trying not to fall. good times. and i greatly enjoyed the hot tub tonite, too. ;-) it is cool at night, but i can see so many stars it is ridiculous. so many. so ridiculous.

tomorrow i will head up the schilthorn, where the james bond movie was filmed at gloria piz, a rotating restaurant at the top of the mountain. i will play on the glacier and in the snow and enjoy the panoramic view as i sip my hot cocoa. mmmmm! then i will hike down, at least part of it, before getting all the way back down to interlaken to catch the overnight train from zurich to graz, austria. i am going to see brad and florian, and i am prettz stinking excited.

so now that i had another go at the computer (one shared among 30 or so of us), i am tired and heading for bed. gnight, and much love!
